Master of Arts in Clinical Christian Counseling

The Master of Arts in Clinical Christian Counseling (M.A.C.C.) degree Program is designed to prepare the student for a specialized ministry in the counseling of individuals, couples, families and special focus groups within the context of the local church, para-church ministries, church-related agencies, or other religious settings and incorporates the programs which will allow for National Christian Counseling Association (NCCA) certification and or licensure.

The program enables the student to employ integrative therapies: integrating proven, effective counseling methods, models and modalities, with sound biblical and theological principles. The vision of the church is to be a healing community. Hope for hurting individuals and families is an essential element of the Christian message. The MA program equips the student to help people realize personhood wholeness in every area of human life – spirit, mind, and body – and to facilitate marriage and family harmony and enrichment

  • Non Licensed Program

    Texas Seminary Christian University Christian Education "DO NOT" provided a pathway for students to become licensed/certified teachers in the U.S. State and territory in public school. In some cases, our program might be approved for direct licensure/certification in your state. In other cases, you may apply for licensure/certification through reciprocity. 


    Can I teach without a teacher's license?


    States do not allow educators to teach in public schools without a teaching certificate. Some private schools may allow students to teach without a teaching license, but most prefer to hire teachers who have obtained their educator certification. Some states may have alternative routes to teaching licensure that allow those without a teaching bachelor's degree to pursue teaching licensure, but for many states, a licensing degree program is the best route to becoming a teacher.


    Can you get certified to teach without a degree in education?

    Yes. In some states, it is possible to become a teacher without licensing and an education degree. Keep in mind that this is not a possibility in every state. Be sure to check with your state's department of education for the most up-to-date information on licensing and teaching requirements. In general, an education degree is a good idea as it will open up more doors of opportunity. Earning this degree online will give you flexibility and perhaps allow you to graduate more quickly.


    What certifications do you need to become a teacher?

    Each state has unique certification requirements, tests, and licensing guidance for teachers. Be sure to check with your state's board of education to ensure you understand and meet the relevant licensing requirements to become a teacher in your specific state.


    How do I get my teaching certificate if I already have a degree?

    If you already have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree in teaching may be the best way to prepare for teacher licensure. If you already have a master's degree, you can still pursue a second master's degree to become a licensed teacher.
